SQF Syntax Highlighting & Auto-Completion

by
Byrkoet a.k.a. Nikita

Description:
A seasoned User-Defined Language file along with an Auto-Completion xml for NotePad++.
Provides intuitive color coding for functions and commands in the sqf format for e.g. Arma 2 and 3. Also features Auto-Completion for the latest functions from both Bohemia Interactive and Community Base Addons.

Copy;paste or extract sqf.xml out of the Auto-Completion folder into the folder from step 1.

Run Notepad++ and access Settings --> Preferences... from the top menu bar.

Click on Auto-Completion from the menu and enable it by clicking the adjacent checkbox.

Choose either Word completion or Function and word completion.

Known issues:
- single quotes in a double quoted String will escape the trailing words.

Notes:Themes:

Dark - for dark backgrounds, preferably black.

Light - for light backgrounds, preferably white.

Recommendation
For the dark theme I recommend using the the Notepad++ theme: Obsidian;
Along witht the global overrides: background color, font, font size, bold style and underline style.
This will avoid any unforseen changes to this user-defined language setup.
If you'd rather not mess with the Style configurator, simply use the light theme.

Expanding:
If you wish to expand the library of functions and commands, you can do so by simply adding KeyWord tags to sqf.xml.
In case you find new functions or commands, consider commenting on Armaholic so I won't forget to add them for a new revision.
I also highly appreciate suggestions!

Changelog:
